LEGO Minifigure Creator Passes Away

February 21, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In some sad news today coming out of Denmark, the original creator of the LEGO Minifigure, Jens Nygaard Knudsen, passed away a few days ago. Minifigures are some of the most popular items in LEGO sets and they have evolved throughout the 40+ years they have existed. His legacy will live on as LEGO produces many, many more minifigures in the future. Jens was 78.

LEGO Leicester Square Lester Official Minifigure Revealed

November 2, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Back in September, it was revealed that UK’s new flagship LEGO Brand Store in Leicaster Square with have a mascot named Lester. There is now an image that has been released of Lester in actual minifigure form coming from LEGO’s social media sites.

Anyways, Lester looks pretty much exactly like what we saw in the reveal image with him having a suit with the Union Jack design and a bowler hat. The image also shows with with an umbrella and a camera but I’m not sure if they come with it, if it is released. There’s still no word on how you can obtain the minifigure but I’m sure LEGO will be announcing something as we get to the store opening date of November 17.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Martian Manhunter Minifigure (5002126) Review

March 4, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

During the month of March, LEGO Stores and Shop@Home is offering a minifigure polybag that I’m sure many people will be wanting to get their hands on, the DC Comics Super Heroes Martian Manhunter (5002126) polybag.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Martian Manhunter (5002126)

Martian Manhunter, aka J’onn J’onzz, is based off The New 52 version. He has a green head with red eyes and black surrounding them to show the depth of the eyes. He has a green torso with red straps going across the chest. Around his shoulders area is a blue collar from the cape. The legs are mostly blue with some red printing for part of his tunic.

Overall, the Martian Manhunter is a really good minifigure and is a great addition for fans of the Justice League of America. If you were lucky to get the Green Lantern from the 2011 San Diego Comic Con, then you have the potential to get all of the original members of the JLA with the release of the Flash this year. If you’re like the majority of us who don’t have Mr. Hal Jordan, you just have to wait for him to be released in an official set. For the meantime, at least we’re one step closer to a full JLA.

To get the Martian Manhunter, you will need to spend $75 at LEGO Stores or on Shop@Home but for 1 lucky winner, you can get it for free! All you have to do is to enter our giveaway on the Rafflecopter app below. The giveaway will end on March 15th.

Coming off the reveal of the 2014 Nightwing minifigure, there is now an auction on eBay going for the Flash minifigure from The Riddler Chase (76012) set. We first saw him at SDCC 2013 but here we can see a close up of his details. As you can see, he has a double-sided head with an angry look on one side and and a happy expression on the other. The yellow lighting bolt belt printing is on both sides of the torso.

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Nightwing Minifigure Found

October 11, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes The New 52 Nightwing Minifigure

Back in August, we did a post on some details of the 2014 LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes sets. In the The Joker Steam Roller (76013) set, there was an unidentified hero minifigure but we didn’t know who it was. We speculated that it could possibly be Nightwing but until there were definite details, we could only guess who it was. Well as you can see from the image above, courtesy of our buddies over at Your Creative Friends, The New 52 Nightwing has been found!

The minifigure is mostly black with the new red Nightwing symbol featured across the torso as well as across the back with grey hands. The legs are also black as well. He has a double-sided head with him wearing a black mask with red eyes and a smirky look on one side and a serious look on the other. His hair is also black and is spiked up. There’s no details on whether he will have his batons but I’m going to guess he will.

Are you excited that there will be a new Nightwing in an upcoming set? I know I am! Check out YCF’s video below for an in-depth look at the minifigure.
